M40 Breakdown & Recovery
Broken down on the M40 between Warwick, Leamington and the Solihull junction? Recoverer covers junctions 12 to 16around the clock for breakdowns, accidents and vehicles that can't be driven. You see one all-in price before you book, and you can track your driver live once they accept. No membership.
If you've stopped on the M40, do this first
- Pull onto the hard shoulder or into an emergency refuge area if you can, as far left as possible, wheels turned to the left.
- Hazard lights on. At night or in poor visibility, sidelights too.
- Leave by the passenger-side doors and get behind the barrier, up the bank if there is one.
- Do not attempt a repair, and do not put out a warning triangle on a motorway.
- If you cannot get off the running lane, stay belted in with hazards on and call 999.
Recovery on the M40
The M40's northern end runs up through Warwickshire to meet the M42 near Solihull, passing Warwick, Leamington and Gaydon. The junctions are widely spaced and much of the route is rural, so a breakdown here can feel a long way from anywhere \u2014 our Warwickshire operators cover it, and you will see a live ETA as soon as one accepts your job.
What it costs
The callout for your vehicle type, plus the per-mile rate for wherever you're going, plus a £15 motorway premium for the extra safety requirements of working on a live motorway — which goes to the driver in full. You see the total before you confirm; your card is held then and charged when the job is done.
